Believe your lamp was made by Andrea by Sadek. Import company founded in 1936.

Thank you.  Any idea as to value, or any advice on how I might find that information beside hiring an appraiser?

Antique Questions Forum / Please help me identify these pieces

I have two porcelain sculptures which currently sit on lamp bases, but they are detachable from the bases. They are a set - one man, one woman. The man appears to be an 18th century aristocrat. The woman, a cleaning lady. They appear to be flirting. They are approximately 20" tall and exquisitely sculpted and detailed. I think the sticker indicates "Andrea S." There are signatures and other markings, but I can't make out what they say. Please see the posted photos.

My mother bought them from an old woman in the mid-1980s. The woman said she had them for a long time. That's all I know about them.

Is there anything anyone can tell me about these pieces including approximate value?

Thanks.
